Answer:
$68.05
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out what the total cost of the meal is, multiply 1.07 by 53 * 1.2. I'd multiply 53 by 1.2 first, then multiply the product of that by 1.07.
(53 * 1.2) * 1.07 (Convert 1.2 into 6/5, and 1.07 into 107/100.)
((53 * 6)/5) * 107/100 (Multiply 53 by 6 to get 318.)
318/5 * 107/100 (Cross cancel if needed.)
159/5 * 107/50 (Multiply 159 by 107 to get 17013.)
17013/(5 * 50) (Multiply 5 by 50 to get 250)
17013/250 (Divide 17013 by 250 to get 68.052)
68.052 (Round to the nearest cent)
The meal costs $68.05 in total.
